Checked
None of the twelve SuperJet 701 (round-nose) model years verified, which needs a check against the maker's own document, which the row names, and an engine figure; all twelve name a source below.

Some Yamaha numbers are measured sizes rather than the number in the model name: a GP760 is held as 753, a GP1200R as 1131, a GP1300R as 1296. None of these figures has been checked against a Yamaha document unless a cited source states it.

Year by year

No recorded engine, fuel system, stroke count or hull type changes across the SuperJet 701 (round-nose)'s 12 model years.
Model year Engine, as the records hold it Fuel system Strokes Hull type What the record says Source
1996 701 Carburettor Two-stroke Stand-up The round-nose hull. The machine the Ski Lites class is built around, and the first one BaddJet covers in depth. Square nose and round nose are owners' names for the two hulls, not Yamaha's: no Yamaha document held here uses either (searched Yamaha's own WaveRunner history and every other document held here, 2026-10-06). The hull changed for 1996, when Yamaha's own model code moved from SJ700T to SJ700AU; the aftermarket and the press call the earlier hull square nose and the later round nose (Pro Watercraft Racing, "End of an Era: Yamaha SuperJet", 2020; jetdrift.com; WJSM, 2020).

The same index also lists a bare "SUPERJET - SJ700A" entry for 2002, which reads as a catalogue carry-over of the outgoing series rather than a second machine. ⚑ What changed between A and B is not stated by the fiche and is not stated here.
